Lee Towndrow in “Youth” group show curated by Heather Morton

Art buyer Heather Morton has chosen 6 photographers, including BRANSCH artist Lee Towndrow, who have work that ties to the theme of youth. If you are in the Toronto-area, please check out Lee’s work at Pikto on display now through June 30th.

On Lee’s take on youth culture, Heather writes: “Lee Towndrow has inverted our expectations by casting seniors in the role of a band of youthful, carefree, streetwise hooligans. As a testament to his theatrical and photographic skills, Towndrow’s series is replete with detail, expression, emotion and narrative. We feel like we are part of The Juniors. But do we want to go back and relive our youth? What about the bonds of youthful friendship- do we have the same sense of camaraderie now? We can’t help but be envious of the casualness of this lifestyle. Why don’t these men look more out of place in it? Would we?”
